Recycled Funny Face Planters That You Can Play With!

Raid your recycle bin and junk drawer to make some funny face planters! I made these guys for The Week Junior magazine. Mr. Potato Head, that classic toy, was my inspiration for making the facial features move-able (they’re attached to magnets!).

What you’ll need:

- Used (and cleaned) food cans
- Craft paint and paintbrush
- Acrylic primer (optional)
- Hammer and nail or pebbles or gravel
- Found objects, like plastic caps, buttons, clothespins, straws, and rubber bands
- Craft glue, superglue, or hot glue
- Tiny magnets
- Plant and soil

The rubber band mouth in the photo is glued to the can but he other items are glued to magnets. The comb mustache is held up by the clothespin. Click over to The Week Junior for the full instructions and other activities!
